Not enough boys are being born

Seems there’s a decrease in boys being born in the US and Japan, and statistically it’s supposed to be good times to be a guy in NZ due to there being more women than men.

I’m no scientician, but they say that this has been a gradual decrease over the last 30 years. Well, over the last 30 years, coincidentally, attitudes towards gay men have also softened. And 30 years ago and further back gay men may have been pressured by societal norms to marry and have a ‘normal’ family. Gay men are packed full of testosterone, and gay couples have the most sex because of that (and sorry guys, lesbian couples on average have the least due to the much lesser amounts of testosterone, porn lied to you again), surely paternal testosterone levels have an effect on the outcome of a pregnancy?

It turns out that mammalian zygotes trend towards the female gender by default. So women who are picky towards these metrosexual effeminate featured guys (that is: estrogen packed) need to a) stop being picky, b) stop smoking and c) marry/breed with a lumberjack or a pirate. (Yes, I own this book, yes, you should too.) The point being that not enough testosterone is being thrown around the genepool, not enough chlorine is either, for that matter.

And guys, before bumping uglies, drink a can of harden up. That still doesnt help me, I’m neither metro or a lumberjack or a pirate. We also need these in NZ, pronto. Oh, and raise your children properly. Okay, to be fair that article is a little extreme in places, but it is tied up neatly and concludes extremely well.
